A WELL KNOWN ENGINEER DIES 



Jennings S. Cox, Jr., died in Xew York 

 City Sunday, August 31st, at the age of 

 47 years, of a complication of troubles due 

 directly to heart disease. He was a widely 

 known mining and metallurgical engineer, 

 and for the last 18 years had been general 

 manager of the Spanish- American Iron 

 Company mines and other mining proper- 

 ties of the Pennsylvania Steel Company in 

 Cuba. He graduated from the School of 

 Mines of Columbia University in 1887, re- 

 ceiving the degree of metallurgical en- 

 gineer. His first work was on the Harlem 

 River Ship Canal, after which he was con- 

 nected with the Carnegie Steel Company 

 at Homestead, Pa., for a short time. He 

 then took charge of John D. Rockefeller's 

 Monte Cristo mine in Washington and 

 from there went to Ironwood, .Mich., 

 where he came in contact with Charles F. 

 Rand and thus became connected witli the 

 Spanish-.American Iron Company of which 

 Mr. Rand is president. He was largely 



identified with the extensive developments 

 of the mining districts on the north shore 

 of Cuba, being very active in the explora- 

 tions of the Mayari ore deposits. He was 

 also one of the owners of the Ponupo 

 Manganese Company. Mr. Cox's home 

 was in Santiago, Cuba.

 tinuously until President Cleveland's sec- 

 ond term, when he retired from active life.
